Some suggestions: - Check the client node definition on the TSM server to see if it is associated with a client option set that has a DOMAIN statement in it that might be adding the network shares.
- Check the schedule definition to see whether the OBJECTS or OPTIONS settings specify any additional file systems. Make sure you check the system you think you are backing up to (I notice your dsm.opt file contains two TCPSERVERADDRESS settings, albeit with one commented out). - Make sure the client is using the options file you *think* it is using. Use the dsmcutil command to display the scheduler service configuration, and see if it points to a different options file. Check whether environment variable DSM_CONFIG exists, and if it points to a different options file. - Run the command line interface as follows: dsmc q opt domain and see what the output shows. - Check the dsmsched.log file and check the options shown at the beginning of the scheduled event. Also check for lines that read: Incremental backup of volume 'blah' Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager support web page: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
